Roofing help wanted: Christopher's home in Vancouver
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Vancouver?
🇺🇸 Vancouver, Washington, United States840 views
I'm a school janitor living in Vancouver. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Vancouver
your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Adama.
best of luck, Christopher. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Take care
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Shinjuku.
best of luck, Christopher. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
sending good thoughts, Christopher. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
